DRAFT PROPOSAL TO COVERED
CALIFORNIA BOARD FOR PEDIATRIC
DENTAL

Proposed Policy Objectives
6
1. Maximize the availability of the advanced premium tax credit for
the pediatric dental benefit
2. Ensure the enrollment of all eligible children (<18) in the
pediatric dental benefit
3. Ensure the application of all consumer protections to the dental
benefit
4. Fairly spread the cost of the dental benefit across populations with
and without children
5. Equalize benefit design (coverage) on and off the Exchange
6. Structure cost sharing to ensure a meaningful dental benefit
(OOPM, deductibles)
Primary:
Additional:
Recommendation:
Consistent with the Board’s directive, Covered
California recommends that the Exchange
offer an embedded pediatric dental benefit
side by side with a standalone benefit in plan
year 2015, understanding that the Exchange
must certify an otherwise qualified health plan
without a pediatric dental benefit (“9.5”) if
offered by an issuer in this context.
